GDT: Arizona in Toronto. 7PM on SN

Nylander gets handed a lefty stick from the bench.

 

[Anthrax442]

Leafs shoot from so far, might as well be called the 905ers

 

[Tak7]

That guy went to 2x conference finals over a quarter century ago and is still pulling a paycheque. Maple Leafs Forever indeed.

All of a sudden, that new FOREVER DON'T STOP banner at the Arena makes sense

Forever, Don't Stop Paying Cliff.

 

[Mitch nylander]

I like the new lines

 

[rocketman588]

Like I said in 2019. Babcock was the wrong guy but when they fired him they basically just let the inmates run the asylum. This team doesn’t have any of those raw raw leaders.

I think the media shitstorm after was unwarranted also

Seemed like it was done to justify the firing

 

[93gilmour93]

Holl think he's a shooter now?

Well he was the last player on this team to score a goal

 

[scotian1]

Ya think this team is vastly overrated, Stanley Cup favourites? What a joke that is!

 

[Racer88]

At least we don’t have to worry about cap space for a bit

Ya just a serious lack of players with a soul

 

[Antropovsky]

Both have highs and lows. Babcocks last season was unwatchable. This seems to be similar

Season and playoffs are different beasts... there is good reason Trotz teams got places in playoffs. Keefe can keep trying to win hockey with puck possession perimeter hockey but what keeps killing this team in postseason is overpasses and giveaways. I tuned into highlights from game 1 and watched a bit of game 2 this season and saw Marner give the puck away on multiple occasions that led to better opportunities the other way than the one he attempted to make. A couple led to goals against. There the same plays that cost us in the playoffs.

 

[keonsbitterness]

lol disagree, but that 2016 team was fun, they sucked and i loved them <3

One of the best teams in the league that year breaking out of the d-zone. Just couldn't score if their life depended on it.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Malgin has been meh. Next game put Robertson in let him inject something into the team

 

[fahad203]

Sandin easily gets over powered

 

[LastOne2100]

Can we get a shot on the 4th power play?

 

[CelticDruid]

Stick the fourth line on for the pp.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Our players might be better at talking, stalking, eating, money, getting paid and making love for example.

 

[93gilmour93]

Leafs need to cash in on their PP. LFG

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol the penalty box guy looking into the camera

 

[mcleex]

Why is Manny Malhotra even on the bench

Dude just screams useless

 

[LeafChief]

This is repulsive.

 

[egd27]

This is getting embarrassing

 

[Griffin76]

Why wouldn't they change up the PP units too?

ye, given their talent 29 wins( i think) was a very good result lol

Youre forcing a narrative to make yourself feel better. Theyre playing like shit thus year but this level of play in the playoffs would lead to blowouts and sweeps, not the series weve seen

 

[Mickey Marner]

Boo birds calling

 

[Super Mega]

wow quite the start to the season
